Poppy Shop Secret Operations Remembrance Poppy Brooch
Poppy Shop Secret Operations Remembrance Poppy Brooch
This Brooch is dedicated to all of the Special Operations Executive agents who flew out of RAF Tempsford. The deep red enamel poppy speaks of their sacrifice and remembrance. While at the heart of the poppy, a luminous pearl, symbolising the full moon that lit their clandestine departures was inspired by the Tempsford Memorial. On the reverse, the engraving “By the full moon we flew” is a quiet salute to their brave and resolve.
On Sunday, members of the British Royal Family attended the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph.
